VPN service disappeared
However, manually starting the VPN, i.e.
nmcli --ask connection up VPN
works.
If I don't provide the --ask, I get:
$ nmcli connection up VPN
A password is required to connect to 'VPN'.
Warning: password for 'vpn.secrets.password' not given in 'passwd-file' and
nmcli cannot ask without '--ask' option.
Error: Connection activation failed: No valid secrets
